This is looking south from Wells Park at the northern end of Rockingham Beach Road / Kwinana Beach Road. The shiploader is out of the picture to the right.

A new park established in the last couple of years, the public open space for the ‘Atwater’ subdivision located on the site that was the caravan park for decades. It’s near Rosewood Street, and you can see across Fisher Street to the oval and buildings of the Rockingham Beach Primary School.

This plant – Erigeron karvinskianus or Seadside Daisy – has been thriving in a garden bed since 2006, including periods of little water over summer some years. Although not an Australian native, it’s hardiness and ability to provide weed suppressing coverage has led to the decision to plant it in beds nearby. These were purchased and planted 14Nov25 and have settled in well.

The rosemary cuttings were required to deter trespassing cats from using the bed as a toilet 🙄

Here is the ‘mother’ mint plant purchased 17Dec25 that all the seedlings were grown from as cuttings. The plan is to keep this plant as an ongoing source of new plants as needed and used in the kitchen when not needed.
It is in it’s own bucket to keep it moist at all times.
